by leave—We all make mistakes and recommitting the vote does make sense. Maybe Senator Brown would like to use my red scooter to get here on time, but I will not go there. This does smack of complete hypocrisy by the Greens. I am sick and tired of hearing them say some things that account for one side and when someone else makes a mistake they ping them something shocking. We are all going to make mistakes, and fair is fair, we will recommit the vote and that is okay. I must say even the Hon. Don Chipp in his book warned Australia about the Greens ever having the balance of power. I have got to say the hypocrisy of this issue just shows the hypocrisy of everything that happens with the Greens.
